Most of the time it seems 500 Firepaper is taking around 30 mb of ram and < 50 mb of data on my phone anyway. Arguably, no parallax effect on mine but that doesn't seem exactly crazy to throw 256 mb of cache at it. With most phones coming with 8/16 gb internal memory and micro SD so cheap I don't see the issue here. :rolleyes:

Anyway, auto switching nudes! :D

I'd like to know if you have noticed any battery drain with this app.

I've been just 2 days with this right now, so maybe is just an impression, but I guess I get about 10% less of battery life (about 30 minutes less of screen) than before, but maybe it could be for another causes...

Anyway, the app is wonderful...

I just one question. On weekends I'm usually going to the mountains, and there I have no wifi, no data, nothing. What will happen with my wallpaper??. will it be turning off or something??

Best regards and congrats to Chainfaire for another great app.

Check with BetterBatteryStats or Wakelock Detector for more details about battery hungry apps.

I personally have not ever seen 500 Firepaper pop up in my battery details.
[Android Apps and Games] miklosbard:
Actually I have kind of a request here. The app and how it works is almost perfect for my habits, the only part that bothers me is the inequality of the content. If I select nature and nude then I would like to see a girl, a bird and a girl again. Right now it is like a hundred birds for one girl that I happen to miss usually by bad timing :/ Would you consider adding this feature in a future release?

Thanks a lot of or the app! It really livens up the device and oh man do things look crisp and beautiful on the nexus 5.

Couple of things I noticed:

On the phone where I've activated updating over mobile networks the picture barely changes even after the set time (I haven't fully checked but it might be going by the amount of time the screen has been on instead of over all time) even though my data meter shows 500firepaper to have downloaded a decent bit. On my nexus7 2013 it seems to be updating on time (WiFi).

Another thing is that on the nexus 7 2013 the pictures quite a few times are blurry/low resolution pictures but on the nexus 5 its always high quality crisp photos.

I'm also curious about the internals a bit when it comes to a still wallpaper and a live wallpaper that's acting like a still wallpaper. Is it more CPU/GPU taxing to render a live wallpaper that's just an image (granted the fading/switching will use up CPU/GPU and tiny bit more battery)

In general other than the battery spent on downloading/acquiring the pictures how much of a battery difference do you guys see between a static wallpaper and 500firepaper?

Aviae & 500 Firepaper

[MENTION=5273865]xenon92[/MENTION] on 18 Nov

Hi,

While searching the net I landed at your post. I too use Aviate Launcher, which makes the Android UI really simple to use. I have downloaded the 500 Firepaper. Except for some fleeting moments now & then, I am unable to see any Firepaper images. As you rightly say, there does not seem to be a widget for Firepaper to set on the Aviate launcher main screen. Anyway, can you pls explain how you have set the lock screen to system? Would like to see the pictures. Thanks for your help.

BTW, I used to have Samsung S4 lock screen app. Now I have disabled it. Also, I am not a programmer or a tech guy. Just an avid user of apps. Thanks

What about changing wallpaper instead of using livewallpaper?

I mean download it, add brightness and blur, save it somewhere, and apply it.
[Android Apps and Games] xenon92:
There is generally a setting in ROMs to set a particular wallpaper for lockscreen (gives the option to set different wallpaper than on the main launcher background). Depends from ROM to ROM where that setting exists. There you may choose Firepaper as your lockscreen wallpaper. You may use xposed modules to do that too.

I was using this app from two weeks ago. I've established 24h for changing the wallpaper, but it doesn't change until reboot, or reload de launcher.

I'm using Firepaper on a Nexus 5 under KitKat 4.4.2 with Nova Launcher Prime 2.3.

The three finger gesture it works well; only automatic change does not work for me...

Hey guys, I saw a review and really liked the app. However, immediately after installing the app my recents are lagging. I don't really know how to describe so I made a screen record. Is this a known issue / is there a workaround?

You can't really tell the difference watching the video but the transition is smoother after uninstalling the app.

Hi thanks for a great app!

I really like the update on screen off. Though I find that I turn phone off/on frequently during the day to check time. So I only got a brief peek at some beautiful photos. It would be great to balance battery use and update frequency with strategy like:

- update on every other/3rd/nth screen off.

- update on screen off or at least 30min/Xmin since last update.

- update N min after screen is off. (no update at night)

- update every N min. But stop update at night.

Data usage

Hey chainfire, I've noticed that this app (which rocks by the way) has been my top data user for the second month now. Last month I had a 30 min refresh and often changed manually, but for the last month I've had it on 3 to 6hr and not changing manually so much and it still used 2.27GB. Obviously it'll use more with a smaller refresh, but that seems high to me.

I haven't heard anyone else talk about this, so was just wondering if this sounds like it's in the right ballpark or if something is screwey. If it's purely due to the refresh interval and it sounds about right then so be it.

Thanks again!

Update:

I just looked into this further, and it wasn't 500MB in a month, that was within a week! Total for the last month was 2.27 GB for this app alone. I'll update my original post.

So, if I had it at 3 hour update interval for the entire time, that's about 230 updates, round to 275 for reboots, manuals, etc. and that's about 8.5 MB per image. Correct me if I'm wrong but that seems to be about 10x too much for a 1280x720 image, doesn't it?

Check the settings, there's an option to update over wifi only. But I'm not in wifi range for the majority of the time, so I rarely use wifi.
[Android Apps and Games] miklosbard:
True, probably I set it up the first time and just forgot about it :)

Actually I let it connect only at nights when I get home after work and it can download enough pictures to deal with the 30 min change time throughout the day.

Sent from my phone
[Android Apps and Games] majikmonkie:
Further to my possible issue above, how many images does the App cache at a time? I'm wondering if I periodically connect to Wifi, will I be able to up the refresh time, and for how long? A day? two days? I can set up a Tasker profile to connect periodically when I am within range, but don't want to do the legwork for this if it doesn't fully resolve the issue.

copyright states your phone cannot keep the images for more than 24 hours, so you should set a daily schedule

I wanted to say that I like this app very much.

I also have a problem with it: I set the app to change the wallpaper every 1 hour.

But my wallpaper stays the same and does not change. I can change it manually if I press 3 fingers on the display, but it does not change automatically.

I don't keep my internet connection active on my phone, so it's not uncommon for the phone to be offline for a few days. Right now I've been offline for almost 2 days, and I can still manually change the wallpaper, but it does not change automatically.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Titanium backup

Hi Chainfire.

Thanks for all the great apps. I noticed that Titanium Backup seems to take backup also from the cached images, even though it should backup application external data only if it is smaller than 32 mb. This can make the backups really big and as I'm syncing them to Box it can take a while. Do you know how this could be prevented?

I'm running the most recent nightly snapshot release of CM 11 for the VZW HTC One.

500 Firepaper starts out great, but after my phone has been sleeping for a while and I unlock, the wallpaper is black. Three fingers doesn't load another one. I basically have to go back to wallpaper settings and reset it to use 500 Firepaper. Then it's fine for a while until I unlock again, and now the wallpaper is black again.

Any ideas? I've a feeling it's more an issue with the ROM.

Transportation category doesn't work, shows all images instead of just the transportation one.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I have installed CM11 on my S3, I'll leave it locked for a while, see if it exhibits the same behavior. What is your Firepaper configuration set to ?

This is fixed in the next update (you will have to un- and re-select the Transportation category to fix the problem after updating).

The cache is probably considered to be application internal data by TiBu, as it does reside in the app internal storage, not external storage.

The data usage is designed for Wi-Fi usage where you are in Wi-Fi range only a bit of the day. For example, you have Wi-Fi at home but not during the day when you are on the road and/or at work. If you update over normal data-connection (which should normally be available) this strategy may not be ideal. I'll put this on my to-do list to look at.

Seems like there's something wrong with the alarm manager. Can't really replicate this so it's hard to fix, but I'll see what I can do.
[Android Apps and Games] oviradoi:
I have done some more testing and I think I have a theory of what could be happening.

I own a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (GT-I9195) with stock firmware. I (along with many other users) have some problems with deep sleep.

The problem is that sometimes the phone works great, it enters deep sleep and my battery lasts for 5-6 days. And sometimes, randomly, the phone refuses to enter deep sleep and the battery is gone in 2 days max. When it refuses to enter deep sleep, it can be fixed by rebooting.

I have noticed that the wallpaper does change eventually, but it's a lot more than 1 hour (the time I set). The phone did a number on me a few days ago and refused to enter deep sleep. There's really no way of knowing when it does this without checking WLD or BetterBatteryStats. But I noticed that my wallpapers did change every hour or so. After the wallpaper changed a couple of times in 2 hours, I entered WLD and BBS and I noticed that my phone was not entering deep sleep, and the battery was draining fast, so I rebooted the phone to fix it.

So my theory is this: Maybe the time is only counted when the phone is not in deep sleep. Maybe the time stops (for the app) when the phone is in deep sleep, and that's why the wallpaper changes so rarely. Maybe it's a bug or maybe it is a feature :)

Anyway, this is not a problem for me because I don't think the wallpaper should change 5 times if the phone is in deep sleep for 5 hours. I think I should just decrease the timeout and keep using the app that way. Also, I was without internet on the phone for 8-9 days and I still had wallpapers (they didn't get deleted) which is great :)

I'm having problems setting this up. I install the app, start the setup wizard, and it tells me to tap "500 firepaper", then on the next screen tap "Set Wallpaper". The problem I'm facing is, that once it tells me to tap 500 firepaper and I receive a toast notification, there's nowhere that I can tap "500 firepaper". I hope I don't get flamed for asking such a seemingly dumb question, I'm smh myself over here! I'm on the LG-G2 LS980.

I guess you're at a screen you're not expected to be, or maybe LG's firmware has a different way of setting up live wallpapers.

Thanks for your responses but I figured out what the problem was. When I flash a new ROM I always go to system/app and delete what I don't want from it, and one of the things I delete is the livewallpaper.apk. Once I reflashed the ROM, it worked perfectly! Thanks again for the quick replies.

When I am on a data connection, not WiFi, and the app tries to update, I get the black screen of "no pictures" that tells me to connect to WiFi or check my battery.

Go to the history browser, scroll to the bottom of the list and select an image to view it.

If you press the hardware back button, this takes you back to where you were in the list (the bottom).

But if you press the back button that is in the app's action bar, it will take you back to the list but you will be at the top, and you will need to scroll back down to get to where you were before.

Over the past month, the app has downloaded 1.3GB of data (thru Wifi, none through mobile data thanksfully...), I only have the picture set to refresh every 24 hours (which it doesn't by itself most of the time), so it's not like I'm constantly refreshing for more pics, is this normal? It seem excessive to me.

And it's not all it one brief surge, the data usage is pretty consistent throughout the month, currently the cache is at 20kb and data size is 65MB

Any reason why this app sometimes generates too much wakelocks?.

Sent from Note 3 (The beauty & beast)
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
High-resolution images are large and they need to be refreshed every day. 1.3gb/month is 45mb/day, which is not suspiciously high for this app. When Wi-Fi is detected it burst-downloads a lot of images so you'll be set for the next 24 hours without needing a Wi-Fi connection again.

That is certainly not good. I don't use AFWall+, would there be a logging facility included to aside from blocking also detect when this goes awry? I would be interested in that data.

Wakelocks are used to update the images when the screen goes off. It's quite a bit of data every day, so if your connection is slow, that might be a cause for long wakelocks.
[Android Apps and Games] sjmik:
Chainfire- first of all, thanks for the app!

I love it when it works.

I'm using your app on an HTC One X running CM11 nightlies.

I have the app set to use WiFi only, and to refresh on every screen off.

The phone has WiFi access around 12 hours a day, and never drops below 50% battery.

There are two issues I'm running into:

First, I often get the black "No images available!" screen while at work, where I don't use WiFi.

Second, there is a small delay where I can see the background being switched when unlocking the phone.

Do you have the time or desire to look into these, or would you be open to someone contributing to your work?
[Android Apps and Games] wdkingery:
It was my fault. I didn't realize it would burst download, and had initially allowed data-plan downloads. Afwall+ does have a logging feature, and there have been no logs of firepaper actually badly.

I'm willing to pay €/$/£5 for 1080p optimization!

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

Issue one is because this app downloads a burst of photos, and if that cache runs out while you are at work then you'll get the "no image" screen.
